How do you deal with aging?

Wow, that's three of us. I live in California, too, but not on the coast. I love the Mendocino coast. It's an artist's paradise. There are so many talented people in California and it seems many of them are in Mendocino.

Maybe you should visit that cemetery and find a gravesite that looks lonely and place flowers on it. It may give you a good purge.

Your suggestion to visit the cemetary nearby is definitely a good idea, but "no thank you .... not again!" 😉 Sadly, my parents, sister, and her best friend are buried there and although I've visited in the past, I no longer have the desire to do it again. I recall that years ago whenever I drove by that particular cemetary there was a gentleman sitting in a lawn chair next to a particular gravesite. I always wondered if he was "visiting" his wife. It always struck me as so touching, yet so sad.

Oh, yes, I know what you mean about exercise and especially walking. Last week I had the best PT appointment. They put me through a lot of stretching and that made walking less painful. Kudos to you for getting up those stairs. Holy cow! Exercise and routine. Thanks for bringing that up. I need to get on my own case about Youtube health programs. But I am working on me, little by little, so I do get one pretty pink star after my name.

I just realized, I don't like the term "Live one day at a time." That's putting limits on your life. Like, wow! I'm here today and I'll probably fall off a cliff tomorrow. Hobbies and interest are so important to maintain a healthy attitude.

Yes, you definitely deserve a pretty pink star. Here you go! 😉

prcrowe ROTFWL OMGSH! I love it. Thank you so much. I feel like doing a jig.

prcrowe Oh, I apologize for the foolish pun I made. I had no idea your family was interred in that cemetery. We all grieve in our own way. That gentleman seemed to balance out your emotions with loving kindness. That's nice.

@cb3 Oh goodness, no need to apologize!! 🙂 To be perfectly honest, MANY, many years ago I actually had a counselor suggest that to get over my fear of death, I go to a local cemetery and read whatever was written on the gravestones. Looking back, I understand what he was hoping I'd accomplish, but to think that I actually took him up on his suggestion kind of makes me cringe. It did NOTHING for me other than to still remember one of the inscriptions because it was so sad.
